The story

The story behind Barenjager

Barenjager began as Barenfang, a honey spirit German hunters made at home in East Prussia back in the 1400s. Teucke & Koenig commercialized the recipe, and the modern form took shape in the 1700s. Today the Schwarze & Schlichte family company makes it in Steinhagen, northern Germany.

What separates Barenjager from the honey bottles crowding the shelf is the load. Each 750mL holds 225 grams of pure honey, aromatic nectar honey from the Yucatan Peninsula, cut with neutral grain spirit and a secret spice blend carrying cinnamon, clove, allspice and cardamom. No oak, no shortcuts. It is Kosher certified, took Double Gold at San Francisco, and scored 93 points at the 2016 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

Buying guidance

Which Barenjager is right for you?

Pricing here stays honest. The Barenjager Honey Pear 750mL runs $22.99, and both the Honey Bourbon and the flagship Honey Liqueur sit at $29.99 for the same 750mL. That lands the lineup inside the $25 to $33 tier most US shelves charge, with the pear expression a few dollars under. For a cordial carrying 225 grams of real honey per bottle, that is fair money. Buy Barenjager online here and we will have it ready for pickup in Commack or on a local delivery route.

Good to know

Barenjager questions, answered

Is Barenjager a whiskey?
No. Barenjager Honey Liqueur is a cordial made from neutral grain spirit blended with honey and spices at 35% ABV. The Honey Bourbon expression adds bourbon to the blend, but the flagship is a liqueur, not a whiskey.
What is Barenjager made of?
It combines neutral grain spirit with 225 grams of pure Yucatan honey per 750mL bottle, plus a secret spice blend with cinnamon, clove, allspice and cardamom. The recipe is Kosher certified and contains no synthetic honey flavoring.
How do you drink Barenjager?
Serve it neat, chilled as a shot, or over ice. Bartenders use it in place of simple syrup or honey in cocktails like the Bee's Knees and the Gold Rush, and it works drizzled over pancakes or stirred into hot tea.
Where is Barenjager made?
Barenjager is made in Steinhagen, Germany, by the Schwarze & Schlichte family company. The recipe traces to 15th-century East Prussia, where hunters made a honey spirit called Barenfang, and the modern form dates to the 1700s.
